OptaGest is a complete digestive aid for dogs and cats and will help reduce diarrhea, bad breath, body odor, hairballs and excessive shedding. It contains four plant-based enzymes to assure proper digestion and absorption of nutrients. Plus, OptaGest has clinically tested levels of fructooligosaccharides (FOS), a prebiotic which provides food for the good intestinal bacteria.

Dogs and cats need digestive enzymes to break down their food and deliver nutrients to the rest of their body. Many pets have an enzyme deficiency because:

Enzymes are destroyed during the processing of most commercial pet foods.

As pets get older, they produce fewer digestive enzymes.

Stress, anxiety, illness and antibiotics use may reduce enzyme efficiency.

Because vitamins and minerals cannot do their jobs without enzymes, a deficiency will affect not only digestion, but the pet's overall health. Signs to look for include:

Gas, bad breath, hairballs and body odor

Skin and coat problems and excessive shedding and itching

Diarrhea or constipation

Pancreatitis

Food and/or skin allergies

Hairballs

Weight issues

Poor immune health

OptaGest has NO FILLERS, such as lactose, sugars or preservatives. OptaGest has a slightly sweet flavor that pets enjoy. OptaGest is made in the U.S.A. and In Clover (makers of OptaGest) is a charter member of the NASC (National Animal Supplements Council).

There is nothing worse than a cream colored long haired cat with digestive issues. I am lucky that Sammie was tolerant of having her butt shampooed several times a week. However, my tolerance for being woke out of a sound sleep by the stench of diarrhea coated fur didn't last long . Sammie refuses to eat dry food so I feed her canned food but it was not agreeing with her tummy. It didn't matter what brand/flavor. I started adding Optagest to her food and she now has solid stools and she is no longer as gassy.

Solved Digestive Issue

Been using Optagest for 5 weeks now. Only took maybe a week and my 13 1/2 year old female kitty's tummy quit gurgling and she has been able to eat more and keep what she eats down. She was 5 lbs 2 oz and is now 7 lbs 4 oz. Recommend Optagest highly

Great Product!

Our puppy has many food allergies and after a year of trying different foods, we have found kibble, etc. he can tolerate in tandem with OptaGest. If we run out of OptaGest, we are up at least twice a night walking him….this product has been a life saver!
